The Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Health Disparities (CAIANHD) is organized in terms of 4Core components: an Administrative Core (Core A), a Research Core (Core B), a Community Outreach andDissemination Core (Core C), and a Native Investigator Training Core (Core D). Spero M. Manson, Ph.D.,Professor and Head, American Indian and Alaska Native Programs, UCDHSC, serves as PrincipalInvestigator and leads the Administrative Core. Dr. Manson, a medical anthropologist, is American Indian(Pembina Chippewa) and is nationally recognized for his research and leadership in areas directly relevantto all aspects of this request to renew our comprehensive (P60) Project EXPORT Center and ongoing effortsto understand and eliminate health disparities among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs). Dr.Dedra Buchwald will direct all University of Washington related activity in collaboration with Dr. Manson andunder subcontract with the UCDHSC. Dr. Buchwald has direct knowledge and experience working withAI/AN populations and holds appointments at both the UW and the American Indian/Alaska Native Programsat the UCDHSC. She is involved in many projects that address medical issues and training in Nativecommunities.The Administrative Core provides varying levels of direction and support-both day-to-day and long-term~toeach of the other Cores. Accordingly, the specific aims of the Administrative Core are to:1) Support the logistical operations of each Core;2) Stimulate, coordinate, and monitor activities across Cores;3) Supervise implementation of key strategic decisions related to the program plan, and4) Facilitate program planning and review.Core A staff, then, engage in a broad range of logistical operations (e.g., scheduling, communication,personnel matters, expenditures, and monitoring), coordination across all Cores through a CoordinatingCommittee comprised of the Core Leaders, key strategic decisions (e.g., selection and periodic evaluation ofNative Investigators, and approval of Pilot Studies), and program planning as well as review. The latter areconducted in concert with the CAIANHD Program Advisory Committee, which meets regularly, either face-tofacein Denver, Colorado or by videoconference.
